51. Eight taels
It has only been two months since she woke up to this house, and her younger brother has been found by the villagers no less than five times, and the degree of naughty mischief can be imagined.
It's a rare opportunity to come forward, and Huajin won't let it go.
"Hey...... Sister" Xiao Si grabbed her sister's hand anxiously, "Sister, I didn't say no, don't you want to think about it?" ”
Obviously lacking confidence, he said weakly.
It's really difficult, the gang of friends in the village can't repair it for a few days, how can they bear it!
Xiaosi really wants to cry without tears, but ...... The allure of a slingshot is not small!
"Sure, that's not going back, once I can't do it, my sister won't release water" Hua Jin raised her eyebrows.
Xiao Si gritted his teeth, and nodded quickly for the slingshot: "The manly husband spits at the mouth and talks with a nail, and you have sent the slingshot, sister." ”
looked at his younger brother Hua Jin who took the bait and smiled, "Okay, look at your performance." ”
Leaving the depressed little four, he said hello to the little cat sister and went home.
But when I thought about owning a slingshot soon, I quickly got up again.
Isn't it just a good performance this month, he will definitely be able to do it.
Xiao Si waved his fist to cheer himself up, and hurried to catch up with his sister who had already gone away.
"Sister...... Wait for me. ”
……
The next day, Hua Chengtian sent his son back, and then accompanied his daughter to the town again.
The streets were obviously deserted a lot on the day of the festival, and the crowd watching Hua Jin thought.
The goal was clear, and without much delay, the car rushed directly to the door of the embroidery workshop and stopped.
At this moment, the sun is already rising, and the embroidery workshop has opened its doors to welcome customers.
Hua Jin jumped off the ox cart, followed by Qi.
It is always inconvenient for a big man in Hua Chengtian to follow his daughter to the embroidery workshop, Qi Shi didn't worry about it, and he followed him, and the two of them held hands and entered the embroidery workshop.
Seeing that the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law Hua Chengtian in the embroidery workshop did not go in in the end, she stopped on the side of the road with the ox cart.
The shopkeeper Zou, who was collecting money in the embroidery workshop, raised his head and his eyes lit up, especially when he saw the things in Hua Jin's hand, he was busy shouting to the guys to entertain the guests in front of the counter.
"Oh, Qi Niangzi, Jin'er, you're here!" As he spoke, Shopkeeper Zou walked out of the counter.
"I haven't seen Jin'er for a few days, and I'm smart again," Zou shopkeeper looked at the delicate, white and smiling brocade, which was really rare.
"Qi Niangzi, tell me why you are so good at giving birth?"
What he said made the Qi family not know how to pick it up, so he could only laugh back.
Shopkeeper Zou just sighed, and didn't want people to respond.
There are not many people in the shop at this time, and the shopkeeper Zou directly pulls the two Huajin girls to the inner room behind the shop, which is usually a place for her to rest, and it is also a place to entertain female guests.
"Sit, you're thirsty, drink some tea," he said, picking up the teapot that had been warm on the stove.
"Thank you, shopkeeper Zou," Qi took it and thanked him.
Hua Jin also said thank you sweetly.
A cup of tea doesn't have to be too pretentious.
Seeing that the mother and daughter drank tea, the shopkeeper Zou, who was already a little impatient, spoke.
"I don't know ...... you are coming today," Zou shopkeeper looked at the painting paper on the table, and his eyes flashed with hope.
Hua Jin didn't bother to open the drawing paper on the table, and let the shopkeeper Zou look at it one by one.
As the papers turned over one by one, the eyes of the shopkeeper Zou became brighter and brighter, especially when he saw the back few sheets, he took it into his hand and looked at it carefully, and he couldn't help but say good words in his mouth.
Then he looked at Hua Jin like a baby, and his eyes were eager, which was the pseudo-child Hua Jin, who sat calmly in his position and smiled lightly, and other children were afraid that they would not even dare to look at each other.
In the end, the price of the pattern remained the same, but the price of the last five samples made Qi stunned again.
A picture was sold for a high price of one tael, and five pictures were five taels of silver plus twenty patterns for a total of eight taels.
This price made Qi Shi speechless for a while, and he was stunned to take the silver handed over by the shopkeeper.
This silver is almost enough to catch up with the income of more than a dozen acres of land in the family.
This year's year is not bad, the harvest is a little more than in previous years, and more than two stones of land are harvested per acre, and after tax, in addition to the two stones of wheat left at home, I also bought more than ten taels of silver.
Looking at more than ten taels of silver, it's a lot, but don't forget that there are two people at home who eat silver.
Counting the more than one or two girls who made almost ten taels by painting tricks last time, Qi didn't know how he got out of the embroidery workshop.
I vaguely remember that the shopkeeper Zou told his daughter how much such a sample picture is collected.
"What's wrong?"
Hua Chengtian pulled the ox cart to the mother, and looked at the daughter-in-law who was a little lost with worry.
Can...... If he was not mistaken, the shopkeeper was smiling.
"It's okay, it's just a little excited, let me slow down first." Glaring at the child's father's eyes, Qi Shi covered his thumping chest and said.
Get...... I see.
Looking at the relaxed girl, Hua Chengtian didn't speak again.
…… It seems to be selling for another good price.
Immediately, the two of them got into the ox cart and left the embroidery workshop.
"Daddy, stop."
Hua Jin saw the bookstore from a distance and hurriedly shouted.
Hua Chengtian tightened the reins and looked at his daughter strangely, a pair of eyes full of question marks?
Hua Jin said: "Dad, I want to go to the bookstore to have a look?" ”
It's not surprising that Hua Chengtian has always been studious, but he wanted to go to the bookstore to see how Hua Chengtian, who has always spoiled his daughter, had an opinion, so he nodded immediately.
Seeing that his father agreed, Hua Jin hurriedly pulled his mother, who had just recovered her strength, into the bookstore.
Seeing that the girl chose a set of paints, Qi couldn't help but ask: "Girl, can you still use these?" ”
The ones before were not all very good, and the selling price was quite high, in fact, I really don't understand why the girl still buys paints.
"Mother, if I match those pictures with bright colors, will it make people's eyes shine even more, maybe the price of the shopkeeper can be increased."
What the girl said is not unreasonable, but also the price of the things is more exquisite, and the price must be different, and then she will no longer be entangled in the silver money of the pigment.
It's a little more expensive, but the girl buys it if she wants to buy it with the money she earns.
I thought I would buy paint and leave, but who knew that my daughter was shopping in the bookstore again, and then chose two more books.
Qi Shi looked at it, but unfortunately he didn't know what book it was, but it was useful to think about it, otherwise the child wouldn't have chosen it, and he didn't stop it.
It's just that I feel a little distressed when I pay the money, and the paint plus two books and a stack of paper cost almost two taels of silver.
"Mother, don't feel distressed, my daughter can earn it back." As soon as he got out of the shop, Hua Jin grabbed his mother's hand and comforted the Qi family.
Not to mention her mother, she also thinks it's expensive, two taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for a year and a half, and some people may not be able to save two taels of silver for a year or two, or how to say that it is difficult to get a noble son from a poor family?
…… It's the money.
"It's okay to take it slowly" patted her daughter's hand, and after getting into the ox cart, Qi was already much calmer.
The flowers are all spent, and no matter how distressed they are, they are gone.
And at such an age, how can you not even be as good as a child.
I didn't stay in the town much after that, I had everything at home, and I didn't finish the meat and fish I bought last time, and I didn't have anything to buy.
On the way back, he earned eight taels of silver, where could the Qi family bear the horn, and told the child's father, so that the corners of Hua Chengtian's mouth never fell down along the way, looking at the girl's gaze, it was a pride!
After arriving home, the Qi family took out the silver money earned by Huajin and put it on the table, and then except for the little four who ran out to play when they were not at home, the family experienced a shock again.
